Yeah, but what other times apart from every time you're in the vicinity?

Did Henry Barber go to Mt. Buffalo?

We're trying

Did you do Luna Naciente? Anything on the 300m wall above Kundalini? You know, the obvious mega-looking bits of rock.

The stuff where you have to pay $100/day to ride the gondola, and probably another $150 to stay in a hotel room now that all the scummy climber sleeping options have been stepped on? Or are we time-travelling back to 1998? Or are we all rich and famous now? I'm confused.

It's all relative. I really like Pebbles and Bam Bam, and Hellspite and whatever the one next to it is called.........you wouldn't really bother with piddly 7m things at Ben Lomond though, would you? Is Wendy's Mega Route going to make the next edition of the guide? I have a bit of an unfair advantage there......all of my routes are going in the guide :)

>Posting something constructive? Are you feeling ok?

I'm feeling better now, thanks. How's Eds arse-gerbil doing?
